Red and white balloons, Valentine's Day hearts, a large U.S. flag, and posters saying, "Jerry We're Glad You're Home" and "God Bless You" adorned the gym at Hays 'Thomas More Prep-Marian school, where about 400 city leaders, former classmates, teachers and friends, gathered to wel come Seib h on Irving it an Iranian jie Seib, a 197 former Kan gathering he all the attent "All I did said.

"But you were a hero to us before all this happened," he said. Before the public reception, Seib said that for one fleeting moment during his detention in Iran, his sister-in-law days as Kansan editor in fall 1977 At that time, Iranian students demonstrated several times on campus against U.S. policies and the Shah of Iran. Seib said that those events were not covered enough by the Kansan then, and said that the newspaper should have paid closer attention AUTOS Continued from p. 10 In cars which are that old, all bearings must be checked because some might be frozen. And gears that are worn must be either made or rebuilt. Most of the gears in the '82 Buck Weller rebuilt. In addition to the '32 Buck, Weller has a 1917 hand-cranked Model T (his oldest car), a 1920 Model T pie wagon, an 1921 Model T one-truck, a 1919 Model T with an Ames touring body, a 1927 Star coach, a two-door coach, and several mid-'96 Cadillacs, to name a few. Some are restored, some are used for parts and some are possible future projects. Weller said. He learned to restore cars simply by restoring cars. Weller does all the restoration work himself, except certain welding and upholstery jobs, he said. And even these jobs he supervises. "You get the feeling of doing it all just by doing it," he said. "It's part of the whole thing." His reward, when the work is done and the clean chrome winks in the light, is the driving and the showing off. "When I drive a car out of the garage and onto the street, it feels just like I'm driving it off of the showroom floor for the first time, with that old engine just going, that old gasoline," kachUG-a. "he said. When Weller is on the road in one of his antiques, he usually is headed for an antique car show or swan meet. His wife, Delores, usually is riding with him. For that, Dean said he took a three-pound roast, wrapped it in aluminum foil and baling wire, tucked it into a niche beside the exhaust manifold of one of his Model A's and drove to the show. See AUTOS, p. 18 A member of a Model A club herself. Delores Weller shares her husband's interest in antique cars. One car show the Wellers attended featured a "manifold cookout." "Dean is a unique craftsman. He can just about do it all," Felps said. "His work is just top-notch." "He is a good person, but he thinks that either they will last forever or he will." she said. Her argument was: "You know, once you're gone those cars could all end up in miles of rust." Delbert Felps, a Lawrence antique car enthusiast, sees Weller from time to time at swap meets. He high regard for Weller's work. Although Dolores said she enjoyed the car club outings, she hadn't been as dedicated to antique cars as her husband had been. In fact, she said she had encouraged her husband to sell some of the cars. "We turned it over after 30 miles," he said. "When we got there, it was done." Still, she is proud of her husband's talent and hard work. "I don't say it out loud often, but some of the things he does are remarkable — just amazing," she said.
